What Causes Rheumatic Diseases?

Rheumatic diseases are usually believed to be caused by a blend of genetic and environmental factors. In other words, you might be born with a susceptibility to sickness, yet it might take something to get the disease begun.

Some of the factors have been identified. For instance, in Osteoarthritis, inherited cartilage weakness or unbearable stress on the joint from repeated injury may assume a role. Certain viruses may trigger illness in genetically susceptible people. Gender is another factor in some rheumatic problems. Lupus, scleroderma, rheumatoid arthritis, and fibromyalgia are more common among women. This shows that hormones or other male-female differences may play a role in the improvement of these conditions.
